Participatory VR theatre.

Ractive

While traditional theater was a spectacle for an audience to watch, experimental theaters of Grotowski introduced a concept that the audience becomes part of the play. Using room-scale VR systems as a medium, we design and evaluate collaborative theater experience, where professional actors perform improvised or scripted stories along Artificial Intelligence actors.
